function isOdd x
   if x mod 2 is 1 then return true else return false
end isOdd

function isEven x
   if x mod 2 is 0 then return true else return false
end isEven

Note that for these functions, 2.5 is neither odd nor even, and non- 
numbers cause an error. To be safe you would use:

function isOdd x
   if x is a number and x mod 2 is 1 then return true else return false
end isOdd

function isEven x
   if x is a number and x mod 2 is 0 then return true else return false
end isEven
